The Barranco streets photo walk leads to a district in Lima renowned for its restaurants, cafes, and vibrant nightlife.
Rising from the ashes of the 1881 war, Barranco began as a vacation district where aristocratic Limenians established their second homes while continuing to reside in the downtown city center. The introduction of the railroad during those years helped to the development of this area. Following the earthquake of 1940 and the construction of new roads, Barranco emerged as the premier location and the new cultural heart of Lima.
The photo walk begins in a classic neighborhood around Cajamarca Street, then proceeds along the main avenue to the Central Park of Barranco. From there, we’ll walk down the old sidewalk leading to the beach, arriving at the iconic Bridge of Sighs, and conclude our journey through the seafront parks. The walk is designed to capture the essence of 19th and 20th-century architecture as well as the local lifestyle of the district.

BARRANCO STREETS
PHOTOGRAPHER RECOMMENDS:
As 3 hours are enough to complete the route, we suggest to start:
– Very early around 6:30 or 7 am so there is time for a coffee or tea and streets are pretty empty. Good to get back in mid-morning or to continue with another photo walk like Lima Centre or take the option to take a trip to the fog oases mountains (mid-June to mid-October).
– After rush hours of the morning like 10 am (not the best light but not too much difference if it is from May to November).
– Around 3 or 4 pm if you prefer streets with people or shoot the sunset (if it happens from January to April).
